Creamy Jalapeño Chicken Taquitos

These crispy and cheesy taquitos are filled with a creamy and spicy jalapeno chicken filling. Perfect for a quick and tasty dinner.

Instructions

1. 1

   In a sauce pan, over medium-high heat, combine all taquito filling ingredients. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

2. 2

   Wrap tortillas in a damp towel and microwave for 15-20 seconds.

3. 3

   Place about 2 tablespoons of filling across the tortilla about ⅓ of the way up from the bottom of the tortilla, and roll the tortilla around the filling.

4. 4

   Heat about ¼ inch (½ cm) of oil over medium-high heat. Carefully, place 3-4 taquitos in the oil, and cook for 3 minutes on each side. (Frying them seam side down first helps them stay closed during frying!)

5. 5

   Remove from the pan and drain excess oil on the taquito on a paper towel.

6. 6

   Place cooked taquitos on a bed of lettuce and garnish with crema, cilantro, cotija, and avocado.

7. 7

   Enjoy!
